George's news items include: details
about the LDS' FamilySearch Genesis digitization
project; Family Tree
Maker 2008 has just been released for sale; the new portable
digital microfilm scanner called the ST Genie from S-T Imaging; and two big conferences
coming in 2008. This week's listener mail includes R.J.'s quandary
about his Sommerfelt line. Drew asks listeners to check out R.J.'s
blog at http://schulzresearch.blogspot.com
and to consider the challenge, and to send us e-mail suggestions
for him.
The guys discuss the FGS
Conference held in Ft. Wayne on August 15-18, and describe their
experiences in the new Allen County Public Library's genealogy
collection. They then discuss the much anticipated book by
Elizabeth Shown Mills, Evidence
Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to
Cyberspace. It is the most complete reference about source
citations ever written, and is brilliantly organized. It is
available from Genealogy
Publishing Co. in hardcover and in electronic format at
Footnote.com.
